ITW: Mentoring Undergraduates

Event Description 

Graduate students and young faculty are uniquely positioned to serve as mentors to undergraduates. Yet effective mentorship is often a neglected facet of instruction. How can we be the most effective mentors for the undergraduate students we teach? In this workshop, we will discuss recent research on mentoring as well as concrete tools to build a successful mentor-mentee relationship that will be beneficial for both you and your mentee. We will analyze different ways of providing intellectual, professional, and social support to your mentees as well as concrete ways to set clear boundaries and expectations on your mentoring relationship. The content of this workshop will be relevant for instructors in all disciplines. For more information, contact Ketty Kabengele, ketty.kabengele@yale.edu or Evelyne Koubkova, evelyne.koubkova@yale.edu… . . This workshop will be held virtually on Zoom.… . Please note: Intermediate Teaching Workshops (ITWs) count toward the requirements for the CCTP. They do not presuppose any previous engagement with the topic, but will draw on topics mentioned in the Fundamentals of Teaching/the CIRTL MOOC. For a refresher on key pedagogical terms you may have encountered in the Fundamentals or the CIRTL MOOC, please refer to our glossary: tinyurl.com/PedagogicalGlossary. — Event Details: https://yaleconnect.yale.edu/rsvp?id=2261663
